Seems to be a rather large trend on your side of the pond, actually, but not as much so here. The tie itself is actually pre-tied, with a solid uniform band around the back so it can be worn without a lay-down collar.
Can definitely appreciate your point, though, as in many regards i'm a traditionalist when it comes to my daily business wear. That, and I have a similar feeling when I see a lay-down collar and a bow tie (to each, their own).

Well, it was a company outing, and i'm management... nobody had the moxy to say too much. Out of 300+ people, I was the only one kilted... but, its also not the first company event i've gone to that way. Although, my CEO *did* make a point of introducing me to his wife before they left... first time in 3 years that i've had a chance to meet her.

I usually save the black hose for when I wear my Black Stewart... although, I suppose I could have also worn my red hose... *ponders that for next time*
Thanks All!
